Developing countries are force to trade issues of basic livelihood like in agriculture and fisheries and of public health in face of this continual blackmail. *It is selling our future for a few crumbs today*. This is what the ecom customs moratorium is about.

It is selling our future for a few crumbs today.
The rolling over of the e-com customs moratorium is capitulation by developing countries to a most shameless blackmail by developed countries. It is a gun to the head of the developing world that they should not tax digital economy

[Parminder Jeet Singh @ParminderJS]

They just should give in to the global digital, data and AI power anchored and concentrated at the two poles of the digital world – US and China, and accept their tutelage.

The 'right to tax' is basic to asserting sovereignty, we failed to do it with our digital society and economy. The consequences are likely to be extremely serious, and possibly historic.

[Parminder Jeet Singh @ParminderJS]

Very disappointed to hear India give up on ecom customs moratorium. To roll along the moratorium is to roll along the US/ China centred global digital economy model where India is fast losing out. @PMOIndia

The 'fishy' digital economy surrender! For some concessions on a bad fishing deal being forced on the world, we gave up what was the door to begin asserting digital sovereignty, by first upholding the 'right to tax'! 'RIght to tax' is a sign of sovereignty over something..

@CjColclough @salome_viljoen_ Hi Christina, yes great. The draft report of India's data governance committee includes almost all these concepts -- employing the somewhat legal fiction of 'community data'

[Parminder Jeet Singh @ParminderJS]

@YBenkler @salome_viljoen_ The committee report has pioneered the concept of ‘community data’ and a community’s collective rights to it. Communities will exercise their rights over their data through appropriate data trusts, responsible to them. A law will be developed in this regard.

@kunal512 @ashwani_mahajan @sureshpprabhu @rabhishek1982 Leave aside on immigration policy, would they ever admit an indian company in a grp to frame an IT or digital policy? No question.

@vijayanands The Internet needs to be saved from the telecom operators. They will make it into a shopping mall from the public street it is
